The hamster balls also win for style points but that's arguably walking with extra steps.

Fewer steps if you get going fast enough and just ride tumbling ass over tea kettle.

The inner diameter is less than the outer diameter which makes for a small overdrive gearing ratio, translating to fewer steps even under normal operation.
